'World's Best' Islands Guana
Island A land rover can take you up a road past a pond of flamingos to your hilltop destination of seven cottages. Cooled by the breezes, you can hide out in a hammock on the powder-sand beach or take part in one of the quirkier island activities - 'spider fishing'. (Involves wandering around a field luring critters out of their holes with blades of spider grass.) Doubles from $475. Las
Ranitas A great hotel built on a swath of isolated Caribbean sand. Has eight tasteful cabanas with big beds, hammocks, and hand-woven Oaxacan fabrics. French- Mexican food in the dining room and an endless supply of margaritas. (No high-rises or beach peddlers.) You can visit the Tulum ruins - only six miles away. Doubles from $170. Puri
Ganesha Villas A low-key Balinese get-away of former interior designer, Diana von Cranach. Three hours north of the Kuta hubbub. Six villas, each with a private pool, sheer-curtain-draped beds, a kitchen (where the staff prepares breakfast to order) and a beachfront terrace. Future plans include 2-week packages featuring meditation, stress-control and cooking classes using ancient Ayurvedic methods. Doubles from $250. Rae's on
Watego's A guesthouse, situated rather singularly on the Bay, surrounded by an area with a special place in the hearts of Australians - beaches and subtropical hinterland. Light, airy rooms (Choice Pick: the top-floor penthouse.) Good food with Thai flavors enhance the sea fare. Doubles from $320. Ras
Kutani The ultimate post-safari stop! Eighteen bungalows with open-air rooms along a jungle lagoon's white sand beach. Built of local materials. Decorated with coconut-shell towel racks, African-print pillows and hand- woven matting over the cool sand floors. Doubles from $390, including all meals. Thanks
